St. Stephen t-shirt for sale
This was one of the top 5 hottest Dead shows I ever saw (out of about 70 between 82 and 92). Yes, there are some ragged moments vocally (words and otherwise),
...
but the energy is/was off da hook and for me that is far more important. WangDang was a breakout or close to it (at least rare at the time), and therefore notable. Jack Straw and Birdsong were also first set highlights, but there were no weak links. As is most often the case, they really stepped up their game in the second set. The entire pre-drums run was just rockin, especially Bertha. And if I recall correctly, China Doll was not in rotation much or at all at that time, and I think it was a big deal because Phil sang on that one (had his own mike), and that was a first in several years. I dont think much more needs to be said about the St Stephen rendition, except that the ragged moments were nothing in comparison to the energy coming from the stage, and the energy coming back at the stage when the crowd recognized and appreciated the song, was never topped at any other show I attended (matrix or aud a must for this show). In my opinion, the Stones that followed might be the best rendition they ever played (before it got all locked down in the jam section). The rest of the set finished just as high energy and it was a night I will never forget. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that as luck would have it, I had a large bag full of original St Stephen t-shirts I made the night before with some friends tucked under my seat that were to go on sale after the show. Holy crap what a cosmic coincidence!!! They had a border of roses with a SYF scull in the middle. Bu instead of the lighting in the center of the skull there was a three color rainbow in the yin-yang shape (blue and red on either side of the rainbow with the two dots). the rainbow came spilling out of the scull jaws and spread into a pool below. It said on top: "One man gathers" and on the bottom: "What another man spills." needless to say they were an almost instant sell out. but the next night, I couldn't get a ticket, and outside the show, some asshole cop ripped open my bag of shirts and threw them into the crowd/street. and of course it being NYC, everyone grabbed them and ran. People asked me how I knew the Dead were gonna break out St Stephen and my reply was: "how did the Dead know I made the shirts the night before?"

Thanks for the Matrix of this show
This show has always needed a Matrix. I remember dreaming and wishing (and never understanding why) the band didn’t also mix the room, but I always loved
...
live albums because boards are too clean, energy of the room. I’m not saying anything new, but I have to give massive thanks. I was at this show. When St Steven broke, first in a few years, the place went BANANAS. It was indescribable. At first a little acid-soaked confusion and then the wave of “this is happening”. It wasn’t great and it fell apart at the end, and devolved into the typical Bobby ending. This Throwing Stones was still early and has a pretty cool instrumental. My 30th show. God I love the Garden.

Great Audio
This sounds incredible. Makes it sound and feel like you are there. Best instrumental during Throwing Stones that I know of, at least prior to final arrangement
...
which has a more structured chord progression during the break.
